Shampoo bars and fundraising!

My shampoo bars are cooling/curing now. I did the hot process method in the crock pot and didn't receive even one chemical burn from the lye. and here I was so scared.

The soap looks great! I'm likely going to let it sit for 2-3 days before I give it a try.

After my post the other day I got to thinking about shaving my head again, and decided to do it. St. Baldrick's gets the fundraising and Locks of Love can sell off my short-ish hair (they require 10 inches for a hairpiece) to help supplement their other funding endeavors. I get to do two great things, I get to be bald, I get to escape the trap of shampoo/conditioner ... W.I.N!

However, I will update on the success of the shampoo bar before I have no hair!

How did the soap bars turn out? I've contemplated making soap before, but it seems like a lot of work. I'd love your feedback.

Corn Allergy Diagnosis Confirmed

I still have trouble believing that the little red bump on my arm would lead to such a change in my life. Months of abdominal pain and thousands spent in medical tests only to confirm that all of my problems seem to be stemming from a corn allergy.

Now I'm trying to learn how to live with this, making my own bread and granola, my own salad dressing, home cooking everything ... no more processed anything! It's a better way to live, but it's tricksy.
